ABx kick-starts lab reactors for high-end aluminium product
Alcore’s new laboratory reactors use oleum and smelter waste to recover fluorine. Credit: File ABx Group subsidiary Alcore has completed the commissioning of three laboratory reactors in its efforts to produce a high-value essential ingredient for aluminium smelting from a smelter waste product. Its smelter waste, or “excess bath” process, if successful, would deliver bonus […]

Koalas grazing near Portland Aluminium smelter suffering bone, tooth defects from fluoride exposure
Koalas grazing on gum trees close to the smelter are ingesting high levels of fluoride.(ABC Rural: Kim Honan) Fluoride emissions from an aluminium smelter in Victoria’s south-west are causing koalas grazing nearby to develop an irreversible and sometimes fatal condition, a study has found. Key points: American aluminium giant Alcoa concedes fluoride exposure from emissions at its […]

Management of Solid Waste Containing Fluoride—A Review
Abstract Technological and economic development have influenced the amount of post-production waste. Post-industrial waste, generated in the most considerable amount, includes, among others, waste related to the mining, metallurgical, and energy industries. Various non-hazardous or hazardous wastes can be used to produce new construction materials after the “solidification/stabilization” processes. They can be used as admixtures […]

Thermal behaviors, combustion mechanisms, evolved gasses, and ash analysis of spent potlining for a hazardous waste management
Highlights Thermal degradation behaviors of spent potlining (SPL) were quantified. An exothermic reaction dominated the overall reaction process. Fluoride volatilization rate in the flue gasses was 2.24%. Kinetic triplets pointed to the best-fit reaction model as the n-th order mechanism. The mineral deposition mechanisms and ash slagging tendency were predicted. Abstract An unavoidable but reusable […]
